Comment OP here and... no, not really? A fantasy setting isn’t an excuse to skimp on character development. If anything, fantasy needs more solid characterization than “the real world” in fiction.

Papering over plotholes with “a wizard did it” is bad enough, but reducing a character to a thumbnail sketch or a relationship to “they’re together, we don’t need to see how or why they got there” is a great way for me to not care about a character or a couple, and adding “because magic” as a justification doesn’t help.

You have me there. I haven't watched Carnival Row just yet, so I don't have much to add about the actual show, but I guess I'd like to think there'd be a bit more leeway in terms of having a heel face turn in a fantasy genre opposed to something based in real life. Like if there's so much going on in a certain world, there are more chances to be accepting about things that are different.
I do agree with you though, especially in fantasy there is so much more to work with and adapt to, and it's a shame when people don't manage that potential.
